His response, and I’m not joking, when all of his arguments against gay marriage were defeated in that debate, was, “well, I still don’t like it.”
- Comment on Just like in the movies. 1 day ago:
That’s definitely not Mexico in American movies. They never show any of Mexico’s grand architecture and vibrant communities. Only the slums.
- Comment on Why is it called linux phone? 2 days ago:
Android uses a Linux kernel, but most people don’t consider it “Linux”.
A “Linux Phone” is a more traditional Linux distribution made to work on a phone, usually with GNU tools, and a GTK or QT based UI.

GOD DAMNIT! Who touched my Uranium-235?? I left it RIGHT HERE where this lead is.
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 4 days ago:
My job, mostly.
I use Uptime Robot to tell me if anything goes wrong, and I need to be able to VPN into my work network and restart services if they go down. A flip phone can’t do that.
- Comment on Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently? 4 days ago:
It’s more of a signal that the IP address does send trustworthy email. AFAIK, IP reputation isn’t handled on a per-user basis. Domain reputation probably is.
- Comment on Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently? 4 days ago:
Email is the hardest thing to self-host, but it’s definitely doable. You’ll need a static IP, and you’ll need to talk to your ISP to make sure outbound connections on port 25 are open.
Set up your servers and your DNS settings (another commenter gave a good guide), then use this tool to check that DKIM and SPF are working and that you’re not seen as spam with SpamAssassin:
Once that’s done, take your static IP and check it with this tool:
If it’s on any of the lists, you’ll need to go to those lists’ sites and try to get it removed. You might need to make an email address for “postmaster@yourdomain” at this point.
Beyond that, you may need to “warm up” your IP address, by sending email to yourself on various services (Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft) and marking them as not spam.
Then you should be golden.
I had to do this for both my SMTP servers for Port87. If you use more than one server, this process gets a little harder, so probably stick to one at first.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 5 days ago:
It’s on a 65” 4K tv.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 6 days ago:
I have one almost exactly like the one you posted. Same processor, same brand.
It’s fine. It can do 1080 on most games. BG3 runs at 40fps at 1080. My wife uses it mostly, and she doesn’t mind.
One big annoyance I have with it is it’s got terrible Bluetooth connection. The controller needs to be within ten feet to have a reliable connection.
All in all, I would say it’s worth it if your needs are a good fit.
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 1 week ago:
Yes, every time I’ve ever heard someone use metric to describe distances of >999km, they keep using kilometers.
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 1 week ago:
I’m always disappointed that megameter isn’t a common word. People will say “one thousand kilometers” instead of just “one megameter”.

No, it’s definitely liquid. I just asked my dad, brother, uncle, grandpa, and (male) friend.
- Comment on Like a heart 1 week ago:
Light and regular. There is also heavy. How much they can absorb.
- Comment on Like a heart 1 week ago:
If you don’t know, this doesn’t stand for left and right. It stands for liquid and regular.

I know this is fake because Andrew Tate told me girls don’t poop.

Please.

I injured my back at 23, and have been using a cane off and on since then. I don’t understand this meme.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I use Unifi stuff. It’s really nice, but quite expensive. I run my own controller for it with Docker.
- Comment on No brainer 2 weeks ago:
7 would be really useful for those games where you have to find the ball under the cup. You can instantly tell if you’re being swindled, and always win.

I agree?
- Comment on It turns out Nokia’s legendary font makes for a great general user interface font – OSnews 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I forgot about Cormorant! Yes, I absolutely love that font. I did my wedding invitations entirely in Cormorant and Cormorant Sans for the titles. Thanks for reminding me, and letting me know about the others! Font nerds unite!
- Comment on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70% 2 weeks ago:
I think half of those people wouldn’t know what a browser is.
- Comment on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70% 2 weeks ago:
There are three browsers in that image. There are two additional skins for one of the browsers.

Looks like a lambkin.

I also mentioned Ubuntu.
- Comment on The Illumin-ate-i 2 weeks ago:
Thanks, I hate it.
- Comment on It turns out Nokia’s legendary font makes for a great general user interface font – OSnews 2 weeks ago:
I legitimately hate it. Trash font. Hard to read and fucking ugly. It looks like it’s almost an OCR font.
As much as I hate Google, I have to admit Roboto is a great font. Same with Microsoft and Segoe UI.
But, there will never, ever, ever be a better font than Palatino. Adobe’s Garamond Pro (and most Garamond knockoffs) are close, but Palatino is just amazing in every way. Specifically, Palatino Linotype is the best Palatino version.
That being said, Palatino doesn’t make a great display font. For that, I would much prefer Cantarell over that Nokia font.
Also, Ubuntu fonts are S tier. I don’t care if you disagree.
- Comment on SilverBullet v2 released: open-source, self hosted, programmable notes 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know. I use Apple Maps. Probably not any better privacy wise, but I don’t know what is better that has similar features. I’ve tried Magic Earth and CoMaps, and they’re both promising, just not at the level that I’d be willing to switch to.
